Hi all! This is a very good place to stay. Especially for family. But the house price maybe will boost up soon for 18 floor & above as there are only 4 unit per floor after 18 floor...check it out.
hei guys, do you know those area is full of dust!!! on top of that, there are alot of foreigners staying around. Ops,... those foreigners are not those highly edudated.
Hi all...
To those who wants to buy this unit please think twice. There are 3 reasons;
1) The buildings have leakage problems. If you dont believe me, please feel free to visit their parking space. Leaking here and there. I dont know either it is water pipe leakage or sewer pipe leakage :(
2) There is only 1 parking space for each unit. For those have 2nd car have to park outside... along the road. Due to this, the road becomes narrow and hard to pass by. Especially, when the new relau vista apartment is occupied. :(
3) To those who park outside, please do not leave your valuable belongings in the car. Make sure remove the audio player (front control panel), when you leave your car. It's because, when night time, during raining time, you might find your car window get smashed and your audio player get stolen. :<
Hello Starfish,
I'm one of the owner @ Taman Desa relau 2(TMDR2). I saw you comment really spoil the status of TMDR2.
Please let me know how many condo or apartment @ Penang island that did not have leakage??? even some of new condo also have leakage!!! The important thing is whether management team have repair it or not. Most of the leakage @ TMDR2 have been repair by management team even landscape also will maintain.
If you extra money$$$ you can buy additional car part!!!
surveillance case can happen anyway even cost million ringgit super condo area also have this kind of issue!!! Did you think the road @ Gurney Drive wider???
I buy this house since 1999 and I can said this is the nice place with silence evironment. This can proof that you can see developer like DNP with Central Green Project and SP Setia with Setia Vista Project (Malaysia Top Developer)also have project at this area even Penang goverment also develope the Matropolitan part at this area. Some new college & University project also will happen @ this area.
This is the best investment or living area!!!

Hello Jun,

May i know how much u bought recently? which block?
I bought for 138k, Block Q
138k is cheap, with the greenary environment. is it empty house or furnished?
Is fully renovated and partly furnished...
I have just moved in to Block P of Taman Desa RElau 2 for 4 months. Water has started to leak into my toilet ceiling, and 2nd room ceiling. I have observed 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floor. The leaking is terrible. I have talked to of the residents, and I noticed that the problem has been avoided by maintenance for more than 1 year. I just wonder how to explain that. I have made report 1 month a go, and till no, no response from them. What shall I do, Mr. Lai, Mr. Jun & Mr. Starfish? I have all their contact, even Mr.Chia's personal handphone number. I even heard that they did report to Consumer Assocciation nad TV3 did come to make an interview on this issue. But, till now problem has not been solved yet.
Please advise.
Water leaking at car park is secondary matter. The worst is when it happens in your living space. This kind of problem has to be solved at all cost.
As long as the water leaking problem is oslved, I think this Taman Desa Relau 2 is one of the best place to stay. A relaxing area.
Sorry, a lot of typo error. Last comment, the word "oslved" is suppose to be solved.
Mr.Chia came to visit my house to observe the leakage problem. The problem was caused by the leakage from other units. For temporary solution, he promised to arrange a chemical injection around end of June. Let's see how it's going to be. To be updated...
Wahhhh so many problem one ah?
Like this teruk la....
I just buy only, haven move in...don't scare me ler....
Anyone have any web or forum that discussing on this property?
Actually, buying house really depends on you luck. Some of my friends in Taman Desa Relau 2 has no this kind of problem, of course except leaking at the parking. Well, water leaking in the house is really annoying, and bad for health too. I just hope the maintenance will sokve it as soon as possible.
I hope so......must pray hard.....
damm scare to get this kind of house
Can we actually buy extra car park? how much is that?
Mr. Lai, I am one of the unit owner of this TMDR2. The water leaking from the upper floor still hasn't been solved. Water is still leaking to my room. What shall I do to make maintenance and management for effective and quick solution? The problem has got worse. Need your advice, since you have good comment on the management & maintenance.
All,
Actually very simple, why so angry with the place that you stay? If really that not happy, just sell the house and move out from there? It is true that every place have this kind of problem, very seldom can find a good management to fix your problem....
Dear Nakamura Takumi,
Well, you are right aactually. But, people have to 'work' for 20 to 30 years with the bank, just to have a shelter, for marriage, and maybe stay for the rest of the life. And you think you can just simply sell the house at any time you want? It's not something like your table, tv, or your motorbike.
I'm not angry, just feel uneasy, and uncomfortable with this kind of situation. I do believe that most of the apartment have this kind of problem. It is not the management problems, but the developer or the contractor who reduce or fake the material.
It's my 1st house, of course I love it, i love the scenery, the park, environment, location.
It's our right to voice out or do something that is threatening our daily life. Developers are taking granted and advantage on us, sucking our blood.
Some apartment built by responsible developers are still in good condition after more than 10 years.
Lastly,I am not blaming management for the problem, instead I do believe management will try their best to solve, it's just the matter of time. How long? It could be in a month, months, or years.
Well, welcome to our neighbourhood.
Hi All,
To efective solved your water leaking problem is to cover it from your unit upper flr (very good support from Mr chia team). Some upper flr owner can help to pay 50% if they need to change their tiles for better appearance (from my last experiance we pay RM1600 for 2 bath room with water proof chemical)this solution 100% resolved my house water leaking from the upper floor.
As what I understand most of the property developer only warranty for 18month but our house is ~10year old;need some maintenance:-)
I can see the maintenance office @ TMDR2 is quid supportive although thier main focus is more on TMDR2 surrounding not our unit.Thanks.
Dear Mr.Lai,
According to Mr.Chia, the problem at my block has been happening for a year, and it hasn't been solved till now. The problem is not from the toilet. It's caused by pipe leaking from upper floor unit. I just wonder, it is time for me to file a lawyer letter to the owner of the upper floor unit? Now it has got worse, and spread to my master room.
Hi WOL,
It sounds like your uppper flr owner not willing to let you repaire it. Before file a lawyer letter try to negotiate it or they need you to paid full payment for this repair (some owner will thing this is not their problem and not willing to pay some repair cost. By the way;how you know it is cause by pipe leaking? This is because during my unit issue; repaire "Sifu" also think about pipe leaking but after repaire it not really cause by pipe leaking:-)
Dear all (words-of-life & Mr. Lai),
Hi, i'm also resident of TDR2. I'm staying @ P block.
For the water leaking problem I do agreed that most of the appartment or even high cost condo are having the same issue.
For the water leaking issue to be solved there are a few things have to take note:
1.it has to come into discussion and agreement among both party who are the owner of the unit affected and the owner staying above.
2. the owner of the unit affected has to put a close follow up for the matter with the management.
3. Involvement in arranging a meeting among 3 parties (owner 1, owner 2 & the management)
I agree that to solve this issue is very time consuming. So for the water leaking unit which pending unsolved i would say the previous owner will has to bare the blame as well. As for most of us we will use "I've no time" as an excuse.
My water leaking issue was being solved.
What i did was arranging a meeting together. Best if you can ask both owner to call their contractor to join in as well so that inspection can be done immediately and finallized which unit are in fault.
Than discuss how to solve the issue once and for all (management team must be around). Either 50/50 or at fault unit bare the repair cost.
For your information, issue like this worse case can bring up to court. Chances for the owner of the defect unit can win the case but before that all the necessary approach much be done first.
To be honest, the unit that i bought also having the water leaking problem, the worst part is my "above" is roof top, hahaha who can i looking for? but luckily the previous owner already fixed it, with his own money of cause.....
Oh ya WOL,
This is also my first house...
SO far i survey so many place, this place is consider the best place, at least more than 10 year the surrounding still maintain very good...
There is always a ways for us to solve the problem, either we form a community or a discussion forum for this, i always think that will help, voice out the issue that we facing in the forum.
I notice there is committee formed by the residents to function in such way. But not sure who to contact. Any idea?
Dear all,
This water leaking problem has been happening around since 1 year ago, as told by neighbours, and Mr.Chia (maintenance). Is it time consuming, or some party just doesn't want to bear the cost? Mr.Chia has told me that this water leaking is caused by piping leak, and he had identified which unit has actually caused it. I just move in 5 months ago, so, what actually had related parties done for this matter? This is the rules, and this is the law, which the owner of the unit who cause the leaking has to bear the cost. What if 'his' upper floor unit also has the piping leaking, and damage 'his' ceiling? I think 'he' sure would want the upper floor unit to bear the repairing cost and get it done immediately. There's always people who tolerate, and eventually give space for those who is supposed to be responsible take all the advantages. Mr.Tayoling, you are right. Parties involved, have to get a meeting to discuss. But, this is 1-year problem, and there's no discussion before? And, the nighbourhood people have no idea what is happening, and what is the solution, when will it be solved, how it's gonna be solved? Somebody just have to play tough, against those stubborn people who is not willing to cooperate, and caused all the problems.
Dear Owners,
In fact the water leakages problems can be identify and resolve with the right technique and materials, by using the right kinds of method & water proofing materials which able to solve.
Do not expect the local plumper to rectify this problem, he just buy some tar paste from local hardware shop and apply on it, it only able to last a few weeks and never get the problem resolve completely. Contact me and we be able to give you a complete professional advice and proposal.
I am planning to get a unit at Desa Relau 2. Lake and Swim pool view. Hihg floor (6 above). If block M, it will be better as it have lower density. Any units available?
Already moving for 2 weeks, everything seem fine, only thing is the car park...must be careful when park under the roof....because i already kena liao...the water and the mark will stick on your car..hard to wash one...
hi Nakamura,
Which block you staying? Desa Medura? I bought a unit in Desa Medura and would like to know about the carpark whether it is fixed or free parking one? can the carpark full when i come back late at night? Please advice... thanks.
The car park not fix, is random parking lot...so far so good, still a lot car park, my block is Q
oh ya i am so lucky not buying the unit that facing swimming pool one, for those who facing swimming pool one they have to suffer the heat from sunset
Hi all, I totally agreed with Lai, most low & medium cost apartments and condominiums have leaky problem. The important thing is how efficient the maintenance office handle it. Luckily, Mr. Chia is a responsibility maintenance member.
Desa Medura, especially M&N Blocks are low density. It is a perfect place to stay.I like it so much.
Dear Simon Tan,
My unit is having water leaking in the master-room toilet, and also 2nd room ceiling.
Any idea, or any advice?
Dear neighbourhood,
Water leaking problem is really sickening.
This is my 1st house, spending most of my savings for it. I bought it from a couple. During the visit to the house, everything was fine. After few months later staying in the house, water leaking came and haunted me till now. After investigation from neighbours, this house was actually having water leaking for a long time. The truth was, this house seller covers everything so well, that I was unable to see the flaws. Well, they are good, coz they are interior designer, having a company of their own, so, they are expert enough to cover those flaws, and I was stupid enough to got cheated by them. Every single moment, I curse them.
I am getting married soon, and I was unable to renovate this house, I can't paint the wall and the ceiling, I can't move in new furniture into the room. I guess, during wedding days, all my friends and relatives will sure be asking a lot about the water leaking matters, when they saw it @ my house.
This is truly a great lesson to me. WHO CAN HELP ME??????
I have been seeking help from maintenance Mr.Cheah. He has been helping since May 2009. But the problem is not solved at all. Now he is still checking for me, but I just don't know how long will it take, and I just don't know how aggressive he look into this matter, and how's he dealing with the house owner of the upper floor.
Anyone, pls.....pls......help me.....advices.........

pls advise...thanx!
Relau 2 is good place to stay. Quiet and Windy.
Thinking of getting a place in Desa Relau 2 but put pushed backward plan as I heard that the place having serious management issue ... no money! Is this true??
Resident, please comment on situation in Taman Desa Relau 2? Visited last weekend and saw 3 family moving out. What is the initial selling price (from developer) for a 12th floor unit? Is RM140K (with grill+kitchen+bedroom renovated) ok?
Dear All,
I am a resident of Block 0 and have been staying here since 2004 when I bought my unit. Living here is indeed comfortable and private. The resort environment of the place and the garden/lake area is nice. You will find the people lovely and confortable with each other, friendly.
Only recently, the traffic is becoming heavy and that cannot be helped as it goes hand in hand with the developement of the area.
We have 3 cars and as we rent a car park from another party, 1 car has to be outside. It's not a big problem but you need to plan your timing etc. You come back too late and you would have to walk a fair bit. Most of the residents have developed some "changgih" creative ways to park their cars.
The other main issue is definately the leakage. Fortunately, my "upstairs" had her leak fixed when I complained in 2005. It took nearly a year of letters coming to & fro with reminders from the Management to them, but it was finally resolved. So I was able to paint my wet spot and moved on. A few other tenants are not so lucky.Mr Lai did say that all units 8 floors and below are prone to this problem. Tenants and the management need to work together to solve this, instead of blaming.
Unfortunately, some people tend to think that if things do not meet their expectations, the will simply not pay the Maintenance. They do not realise that without this Maintenance being paid, it is hard to get things done & maintained well without sufficient cash. So, it becomes an ugly cycle.
While it gets more and more crowded outside, TDR2 itself has very little foreigners living here to cause an issue. So, even if you see the factory buses coming to pick them in bus loads, once you are instead TDR2, you dont really feel nor see their presence.
Now there is a new Joint Management Body who are doing the best they can and many residents are coming forward to offer their help and expertise. There is a committed community feeling here and I'm sure in time, the outstanding matters may be resolved.
I am optimistic and I remain optimistic because staying here, while it may not be paradise, it is still a comfortable and happy home, much better than some other places I have visitted or lived in.
Merlin, its great to see such good comment.
I also purchased block O. Signed my S&P in Dec 09, but still haven't get my keys yet. STUPID BANK. Loan unreleased yet.
I do agree with you on the "creative" ways of parking. Luckily I have sorted my parkings. Hehe.
What i need to understand from you is on the management. I heard from a friend staying there saying that the JMB has been fired and the old management was brought back in action? However, i did call Gary from NJB around May & he said they are still in-charge.
In fact WHO is the authorized in-charge?
Has the maintenance & sinking fund being held by the authorized party? I understand that it has quite a sum there! more than half million for sure.
Hope to hear from you.
Nakamura Takumi, i arequested to join the FB page for TDR2. Hope you'll approve me. :)
I'll join in the residency soon. Hopefully next month. Staying at 4th floor, or the address will state 5th though. FUNNY!
What caused residence there still cant get the strata title?
Dear BC Mengs & SS,
1. I understand there is a new Management company now, no longer NJB. There is a new committee to run the Joint Management Body. I wont say that the old JMB committee did a bad job, they put in a lot of work and effort but too many issues remain hanging in the air that prompted some residents to decide on a change. Sometimes a change is neccesary to get things moving.
With regards to the STRATA TITLE, from what I understand, there is some discrepancies in the plan & the actual building which is what holding back the ST. Apparently, the original committee found out a lot of problems, including the application for the ST not even being done. This is something the new committee is seriously persuing right now, with the backing of the residents.
Well, hope this info is useful & Mengs, welcome to Block O.
Hi, can anyone please comment on the ISP for Tmn Desa Ralau 2?
Which is better?
Streamyx vs Penang FON.
Thanks Merlin..
I am considering one unit in block Q~
Yuki,
At RM140k, it will be hard to find 1 unit with simple reno + furbish.
It's around at RM155 - 160k now for those unit you are aiming. Its time for you to raise your budget. :)
thankx for yr advice, bcmengs.
any idea where got owner wanna selling their condo in TDR2?
If got, pls me know.
tq!
Yuki,
Sure do.
TDR2 got 770sqft meh?
Heard that if you want to use the swimming pool need to pay extra fee?? It is true?
I'm currently just moved in and staying in Block M. The scenery is amazing and I love it so much. Very hardly to find some other place with this scenery with this price.
Josh,
Finally you moved in? Welcome to be part of the community! How do you enjoy the whole facility of TDR2? I've been staying there on and off since early this year. Everything is good. Nice windy environment, the friendliness of neighbours & everything else is good. Syok nyer....haha
Yes. I stay there about 2 months already. Everything is nice. As what you mentioned, good neighbours and clean environment. I'm 100% satisfy on the unit that I bought and never regret on the decision that I had make.
HI, just wanna know...are dogs allow to keep in? Responsible owner will ensure no disturbances to neighbours and will not allow the dog to poo around
what is management contact number for Desa Medura relau 6 ? Anyone can help? Thank you....
I think it is hard for you to get a unit here because of its extremely good feng shui due to the overall layout & location of this apratment... i.e front have water ($) and back got hill (strong supporter, boss)... Normally the people stay here will get richer and richer, once they upgrade to a bigger house from this small apartment they will still keep this unit for themself potential whole life... so I don;t think you can get a unit here easily.
William, agree with you. I have left my house empty after moving to KL.
Wanna sell?that's no point to leave a unit empty?
Does anyone know whether Taman Desa Relau 2 have obtained the strata title?
Not yet ........
What is the market price for Desa Relau 2 now?
there are so many stray dogs at desa relau 2(check the parking area)& some of the owner also place their dog in front of their door & everytime u want to out from your apartment..the dog will shows its gangsterisme and barking like crazy (maybe for showing off purpose in front of their owner-to proof they are doing their job (guarding their owner shoes cabinet i think) =).but overall,its nice to live here..everyone is very friendly,the joint body management also provide excellent support & good "Feng shui" location.
To those who have the intention to buy the Apartment, please really think twice. This place is in ruin and beside all the factor and points mentioned about water leakage, the whole place is badly maintained as well. These include:-
a) The swimming pool had been out of order for long period and there seem to be some management dispute on the legal owner of the swimming pool. The water had been left stagnated in the pool with NO maintenance and this could be a very good breeding ground for Aedes mosquitoes and other pest.
b) The lift frequently break down and the lift quality is bad. There is only 2 lifts which serves 21 storey building. Imagine the time you need to wait during normal rush hours and not to mentioned if it break down. I had encounter both lifts failure once (in 2010) and had to climb up the stairs. Not really helpful if you have elderly or young children. To be fair though, it rarely had both lift failing at the same time but a single lift failing i would say come quite frequently (one year failing 2-3 times is consider frequent to my standard)
3) Take a walk around all the facilities mentioned (gym, sauna and what not). the gym is very poorly if NO maintenance. Even the Sauna is in bad shape.
4) Refer up the earlier post of water leakage and etc. It is very true. Either way you will be impacted if the unit above you have water leakage or if your neighbour below you have the issue. The last round it takes about 1.5K to redo all the water piping and it is quite ugly
